127.0 on the scale. Still hovering between 126-128 and trying to hammer down this new set point.
Happy Hump Day. At some point in the distant past that's what we called Wednesday, but I haven't heard that nickname in years.
Book Club last night was lovely. I've missed my Kentucky friends. We (six of us) are currently focused on Pulitzer prize winners. Last night's selection was "March" (yes, I know one doesn't put book titles in quotation marks, but I don't have access to italics here, so quotation marks it is). It's a book about Mr. March of "Little Women" (see above) and what happened to him after he went to war. It is an amazingly insightful book about so many issues, albeit a tough one to pick up sometimes because it's about some horrific events. Nonetheless, I recommend it highly.
Today I'll run some errands, shop for a little food, and snuggle up. Low here this morning was minus one degree Fahrenheit. There's a little sun, which makes it nicer than a lot of cloud cover.
That's all I got, folks. Hump it up!

Hopefully I remember to submit this when I'm done LOL. Thank you for worrying about me Peps.
The wind is howling outside and the windows are being blasted with rain. I don't think we have seen anything like this other than a hurricane. The tennis tournament didn't happen at all yesterday so they are hoping this rain subsides by 10 so they can start the matches early. I'm glad we aren't volunteering at it today (we do it Friday and Saturday). I am so sick of being cold - we just don't have the clothing or the heating systems to really cope with day after day of this. It looks like next week may finally be warm and nice. I hope so!
We started watching No Good Deed last night. Reminds me of Dead to Me which I really enjoyed. In fact one of the actresses is the same.
SIL flies home today and hopefully sees her physician tomorrow. She just isn't in a good way. Her DS is picking her up on the other end and it would be good if he stayed over and took her to the doctor (1.5 hours away from her house in Boston). She probably won't ask though. Maybe I will send him a note...
Other than taking SIL to the airport I think we will be staying in for the rest of the day unless it clears up enough to take Justice for his long walk. With the weather the way it is now he refuses to go out even to pee.
Have a Warm Wednesday!

We had many neighborhood chases with our beagles. They always came back when they were hungry thankfully.
I did offer a protein drink but she wasn't interested. Apparently the pain pills for her back/ribs have given her terrible constipation which is why she wouldn't eat. She did have some dinner last night.

I am so sorry about the poor pup, but so glad you held him. He felt loved and safe.

Poor puppy and poor you for having to make that decision (even the right one is hard).
I'm so sorry to hear about Berkeley, but so happy you could be there for him. Sooooo sad!?

Greetings all
Started this sunny day with an unplanned dog chase around the neighborhood. DH's friend came over for iPhone help and dog slipped out and the race was on. After a number of laps she finally came to me. DH was royally frosted and told his friend to go home. This dog wears a tracking device but it does not do a lot of good when she is fast. So all is well but it made me late to Scrabble. This guy is sort of demanding and I think I will talk to him about not calling before 10 am.
So Scrabble was fun. Won one, lost two by minimal points.. Again, had the Shark on the ropes but he prevailed.
Peps so sorry about Lucky. I have no doubt it was the right decision. Never easy.
DD yay on a snow day. TV sounds good. Ditto tea.
Liz did you offer your SIL a protein drink? Might help. Hope you two can have some fun even if it's quiet.
CC sounds cold there too! Good thing your remembered the sprinklers.
After scrabble I had payroll to pick up plus 1099's and other accountant stuff. So I actually had to do brain work. Not much but some. So After this mornings chase and errands I think I will nap. Another event tonight at gallery. oh goodie.
Ann's chairs are awesome! Very fun.
At least there is more chili for tonight. No cooking today.
